Minori...Juliette, thanks for the detailed report. <br /><br />Minority, especially Black, friends have told me numerous testimonies about prejudice. Subtle forms continue, and in many spheres. <br /><br />Now me, I'm a white straight guy. But I'm also a minority religion. In the past I've been pointed-and-stared at on the street, held at gunpoint, and even threatened with a small-town lynching, due to my chosen faith. <br />(Nothing I'd done, or anyone had been proved to have done, but thanks to ugly gossip and rumors.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-25770745933261584622012-02-22T11:54:42.078-08:002012-02-22T11:54:42.078-08:00Thanks, Tim!Thanks, Tim!Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-78401939432438798192012-02-22T11:51:10.907-08:002012-02-22T11:51:10.907-08:00Another insightful and thought-provoking discussio...Another insightful and thought-provoking discussion as always, Juliette.

The group of people I mentioned were the Banjiku, a tribal people subjugated by the Carthaki Empire. Various families were connected with an animal, almost like a family totem, and got extensive tattoos to resemble them more closel. They treated each other well but didn't fight their status as lower class until near the end of the book when Daine relayed a message from the Badger God on behalf of theirs that Lushagui never meant for them to be slaves.Jaleh Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942272578488986874noreply@blogger.com
